<h1>Create an index file
</h1>

<p>The index (.hhk) file is an HTML file that contains the index entries (keywords) for your index. When a user opens the index in a compiled help file, or on a Web page, and clicks a keyword, the HTML file associated with the keyword will open.
</p>

<p>Using HTML Help Workshop, you can:
</p>

	<ul>
	<li><a href="idxcr.htm">Create an index</a>.
	<li><a href="idxweb.htm">Create an index for a Web page</a>.
	<li><a href="idxmlp.htm">Create keywords with multiple targets</a>.
	<li><a href="cntalt.htm">Create keywords that have links to other help files or to Web pages</a>.
	<li><a href="idxjmp.htm">Create a keyword that jumps to another keyword (similar to a See Also in a book index)</a>.
	<li><a href="overit.htm">Assign information types to keywords</a>.
	<li><a href="idxdead.htm">Set a keyword to be inactive</a>.
	</li>
	</ul>

<p>After you have created a help system or a Web site, you can view the index file in the Help Viewer or by using a Web browser.
